The summons to vary the costs order nisi was dismissed and the costs order nisi made absolute because the husband failed to demonstrate a reasonable alternative offer or conduct that disentitled the wife to costs; the court applied its broad discretionary powers under the Rules of the High Court, found the wife's partially unsuccessful claims did not justify depriving her of costs, and concluded that depriving costs would negatively affect the child's interests.
